Why Water?

Water is critical for our bodies. Not coffee (although it feels that way :), not tea, not soda, not juices. Just good ol’ water. Here are some knowledge bytes: – The human brain is composed of 95% water; blood is 82% water; the lungs are nearly 90% water. – Water is also the single most critical nutrient for health, growth, and development. It is not only the most important nutrient in the body, but also the most abundant. – A 2% drop in body water can cause a small, but critical shrinkage of the brain, which can impair neuromuscular coordination, …

Empower. Embrace. Evolve. Emerge. The Cornerstones of GEvolution.

I was at my husband’s grandparents’ camp. It was the summer of 2014. The sky was a radiant blue and I was sitting in a lounge chair with my phone in hand and the warm sun on my skin. My wheels were spinning and my mind was open. My bare feet grounded on the green and a warm breeze around me. I could feel my creativity percolating. I wanted to capture the essence of GEvolution Fitness. I wanted to convey that what I was building meant more than a place to work out at. I wanted to give meaning to …

Wrestlemania and Trust

I look back to April 2018. My brother was just inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and we had tickets to Wrestlemania. As I sat in my seat, I peered at the venue. I peeked the steel cables hung from the ceiling holding the intricate light sets up. I observed how the stage was comprised of many smaller pieces put together like a puzzle. I checked out the row of computers being manned & controlling the lighting patterns. I experienced timed fireworks and pyro. I saw MANY camera people. I noticed people-less cameras being moved on pulleys. I heard …

Rebuild from Injury, Tragedy, Trauma

I deeply believe in process. I deeply believe in trusting it. Knowing that each step we take can be towards a build or a rebuild. from injury.from tragedy.from trauma. I believe that if we want to truly experience healing for ourselves, we can. We just have to abide by and trust the process, sometimes with patience we never even knew was possible. It may take an additional investment of time, money, discipline, and guidance, but it can and will happen. In this era of one-click satisfaction and Google seconds, we are becoming heavily conditioned for shortcuts, quickness, and easy frustration, …

Am I Going to Get to Flip a Tire?

Tire Flipping does not necessarily have to be reserved just for professional athletes. Everyone can reap the benefits of flipping tires to increase strength, power, sport-specific explosiveness & cardiorespiratory endurance! Of course, proper coached form and hip mobility are necessary before hoisting one of these bad boys, but when your body is ready for it, it is an effective weapon to add to your arsenal of training methods. Tire flipping also mimics the powerful explosion of energy that is evident in the Olympic Clean & Jerk and Snatch. They are a versatile tool too. They can also make an excellent …

The Voices in Our Heads

In the gym and out. The voice in your mind that encourages and empowers you is your true self, your true voice, your inner wisdom, YOU.

Your fitness doesn’t have to be a J.O.B.

Your “fitness” doesn’t have to be a j.o.b! It doesn’t have to be DREAD. It can most definitely be F.U.N!

CHOOSE to workout/train for ALLLLLL you can gain! SELF TRUST! STRENGTH! KEEPING UP WITH YOUR KIDDOS! COMMUNITY! PAIN FREE BODIES! ENERGY! ME TIME! The “gainz” are endless!!!

But First…

…Mobility! All of our training sessions begin with nourishing our flexibility and mobility. In this house, your awesome body isn’t going anywhere near those weights until… First, Foam Rolling.Second, Static Stretches.Third, Active/Dynamic Mobility Why? Well, let’s make it simple. We want to recruit more muscles fibers to work for us, but if they are all bound up in traffic jams, AKA “knots,” how the hell are they gonna get to work? Chances are they probably won’t, and then their colleagues and fibers from other departments start doing their job for them, (not as well of course…because IT’S NOT THEIR JOB), …
